NOBLESVILLE, Ind. -- Jailed former money manager Marcus Schrenker has been appointed a public defender after telling an Indiana magistrate he has no home and that the government has frozen all his assets.

The 38-year-old suburban Indianapolis man appeared by videoconference Tuesday for his initial hearing in a Hamilton County court on 11 felony counts filed against him for allegedly defrauding investors and using their money for his personal expenses.

The magistrate entered a not guilty plea for Schrenker and set a Nov. 9 trial date.

A federal judge last month sentenced Schrenker to four years in prison on charges related to a Jan. 11 Florida plane crash in which he tried to fake his death.

Schrenker, 38, was arrested at a Tallahassee, Fla., campground on Jan. 13, two days after authorities say he put his plane on autopilot and jumped out over Alabama to flee personal and financial problems. The plane crashed about 200 miles away in Florida.
